Abstract

The predictions of ship motions in real sea conditions are becoming more and more important nowadays. In this study, numerical simulation of ship motion responses in long-crested irregular waves by the time-marching Rankine Boundary Element Method (BEM) is presented. Firstly, a 3D time-marching BEM with the Rankine source as the kernel function is developed and applied to numerical simulation of motions of a 90000DWT FPSO in regular waves. Then, an ITTC spectrum is employed to generate the irregular waves, which the ship is advancing in. Finally, motions of the FPSO in irregular waves are simulated by the above-mentioned developed numerical model. Computed results of the ship motion responses are validated by compared with the data derived in regular wave condition.
